Special Symbols (@ # % & *)

Learn to quickly type the special symbols used in emails, social media, and numeric expressions.

What This Special Symbol Typing Lesson Covers

This free online typing lesson focuses on email addresses, hashtags, percentages, ampersands, and asterisks in realistic short phrases. You type a fixed passage in the browser with no countdown timer, so you can prioritize accuracy before speed — the same approach used in professional touch typing courses.

Whether you are learning touch typing for school, work, or daily computer use, structured special symbol typing practice builds muscle memory faster than random word drills alone.

How to Get the Most From This Lesson

Symbol keys live on the number row with Shift — rehearse each symbol slowly before combining them in sentences.

Repeat the passage until you can finish with high accuracy, then move to the next lesson in the series. Browse all free typing lessons on the hub page to follow the full beginner-to-advanced curriculum.
